1992 Ford Mustang LX 2.3

   Listed for sale is a 1992 Mustang LX.  I bought the car in 2008 and have owned it for the past 5 years.  It has the 2.3 4-cylinder engine (no turbo)  The car runs very well and has never broken down on me while I have owned it.  It gets me about 23 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.  I took very good care of the car and always performed maintenance on schedule and have detailed records of all work performed on the car.  

What works: Power windows, wipers, heat, radio, all lights, rear window de-fogger, all door handles and key locks.  

What doesn't work: Power door locks, Air Conditioning.  - The power door locks are missing the actuator inside the door.  The car came like this when I bought it so I don't know what happened to them.  It's not a big deal because you can reach over and pull the handle.  The key still unlocks the doors on both sides.  The AC compressor went out about a year ago and needs to be changed.  I replaced the condenser about 2 years ago so if you get a new compressor, the AC system will be virtually new.  

 The paint on the car is in good shape except for the hood and the hatch (spoiler) - see pictures.   The interior is very clean.  There are no big stains in the cloth and the seats are not ripped.  Non-smoker owner.  The car has a new battery and new front brakes.  I also changed the timing belt at 89,000 miles as preventative maintenance because they will break at about 100,000 miles.  The tires tread is getting low (see pic) and will probably need to be changed in the near future.  The spare tire with the jack and tire iron are still in good shape.  I put a couple extra gauges on the dash.  They show the oil pressure and transmission temperature.  I did not do any modifications to the engine, just installed the gauges.  The only thing extra on the car is a transmission cooler.  This helps with city driving or long road trips.  I have recently taken the car cross country and it handles it with no problem.  The engine and transmission are in excellent shape and have no known issues.  The car has no rust and the underbody is in excellent shape.  There is a very small spot of bubbling paint on the passenger side wheel well.  Other than that, there is no major cosmetic defects other than the usual tiny dings and scratches on a 21 year old car. 

Buyers are welcome to inspect the car before bidding as there are no refunds or returns.  The car is sold as-is.  

Feel free to contact me for any questions.

The title and car will not be released until payment is received in full.  If paying with personal check, I will need to wait till the check clears before releasing the car.

How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees

Sat, 21 Jun 2014

The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
